Because injured cells may not grow on media immediately
after treatment (Smith,Mendonca,& Jung, 2009), about 10 briks of
each treatmentwere incubated at 30 °C for 20 days (samples at day 1 of
storage) and 55 °C for 10 days (samples at 1 and 130 days of storage) to
evaluate the mesophilic and thermophilic growths respectively.
